As we age, it is very important for us to maintain mobility.

Here are 5 tips for maintaining mobility as we age:

- Engage in some type of exercise/physical activity. Physical activity can prevent major mobility disability.

- Minimize sitting for long hours.

- Use an activity monitor to measure sitting and standing time and to enable health coaches to provide feedback and assist in developing an action plan.

- Use tools to prompt standing or sit-to-stand transitions such as wearable wrist devices, standing desks or tables, mechanical and/or electronic timers, or access to mobile apps or computer programs

According to the CDC, millions of seniors and people with disabilities maintain their independence with the help of unpaid caregivers.

- Close to 60% of all caregivers are women
- 79% of caregivers care for adults aged 50 or older, and 76% of care recipients are aged 65 years and older.
- One in 6 non-caregivers expects to become a caregiver within two years.

While the caregiver's loved ones wellbeing is extremely important to the caregiver, we can't forget the welfare of our caregivers.

The wellbeing of a caregiver is just as important. Everyday they need to be equipped not just mentally and physically but also emotionally.

How can we support caregivers? Some tips include:

1. Help with errands, chores, and other
tasks.
2. Provide emotional and social support.
3. Make sure they are managing their own
health care needs.
4. Help create and manage a care plan
for the person they care for.
5. Encourage them to seek mental health
services if necessary.

Additional resources available to support caregivers include:

- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Caregiving

- The Public Health Center of Excellence on Dementia Caregiving

- Family Caregiver Alliance
